Genesis 41:6 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:6

And, behold, seven thin ears, and blasted with the east wind,
&c.] Which is very fatal to corn, to dry, burn, smite, or blast it; and especially to the corn in Egypt, whither it blew from the desert of Arabia: these sprung up after them;
after the seven full ears, in the same place the other did, or near unto them.

Genesis 41:6 In-Context

4 The terrible-looking, scrawny cows devoured the seven healthy-looking, fattened cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 He went back to sleep and had a second dream, in which seven ears of grain, full and healthy, grew on a single stalk.
6 Just then, seven ears of grain, scrawny and scorched by the east wind, sprouted after them,
7 and the scrawny ears swallowed up the full and well-formed ears. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it was a dream.
8 In the morning, he was disturbed and summoned all of Egypt's religious experts and all of its advisors. Pharaoh described his dreams to them, but they couldn't interpret them for Pharaoh.
